The Kingfisher Police Department has investigated or responded to the following reports:

September 28 - Child neglect. Officer Charles Trout responded to a report of a child locked in a vehicle at the soccer fields in Briscoe Park. Trout stated in his report upon arrival at the soccer fields, he met with a 35-year-old woman from Piedmont. The woman reportedly stated her infant son had fallen asleep in the vehicle and she partially rolled down the windows, locked the doors and let the child sleep while she watched her daughter play soccer on the north field. According to the report, the woman stated her oldest son was periodically checking on the infant and when her car alarm sounded she ran to the vehicle and saw people removing the infant from her vehicle. Trout spoke with witnesses who reportedly stated the child was crying and after unsuccessfully trying to locate the owner of the vehicle they reached in to unlock the vehicle and removed the infant. Trout noted the temperature was approximately 80 degrees outside and took photographs of the vehicle in relation to the north soccer field. Trout reported he contacted DHS and a DHS official requested he send a final report for follow-up on the case. Officer Aaron Schlegel assisted with the investigation.

September 28 - Possession with intent to distribute marijuana. Officer Aaron Schlegel was dispatched to Sonic, 1201 S. Main St., in reference to a subject attempting to sell marijuana to an employee. According to the report, a 16-year-old employee was offered marijuana in exchange for cash from a customer in the drive-thru. Schlegel reported he and Officer Charles Trout located and questioned the 40-year-old female subject at her home. According to the report, the woman stated she has a medical marijuana card and initially denied the charges against her, but later admitted to offering the minor marijuana. The subject retrieved a baggie of marijuana from her vehicle, which was seized and field tested positive for marijuana, according to the report. Schlegel stated in his report he advised the subject that a medical marijuana license is not a license to dispense marijuana and he would be filing a case with the district attorney’s office seeking a warrant for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
